Re: beforeSave() is not called by save()

The debug is set to 2, so that sql queries are printed by default..

I also added a debug() message in the first line of beforeSave(), but
nothing is done...

Check out the code:

function beforeSave() {
debug("Hello World");
return true;
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->data['Content']['title'] = 'modified by beforeSave...';
}
return true;

}

It seems like cakephp, doesn't call beforeSave() at all and I cannot
figure this
out..
